The meeting

Back in her room Odeya decided to first take a shower and take of her messed up makeup. After she was done she wrapped the towel around her self and dried her hair with her wand, so it fell wavy down her back.
Back in her bedroom she was looking for something to wear, she decided to put on black leather pants and a mesh black top. She did her make up like the day before, just some darker eyeshadow and a red lipstick. All ready she went downstairs to Severus already standing in the hallway waiting for her ,,Are you ready?" he asked.
,,Yes, just a little nervous."
,,Everything will be alright, come on we have to go we don't want to be late." so they left the house into a dark alley to apparte to Malfoy Manor.

Walking up the drive way, Odeya grew more nervous with every step she took. They stood in front of the dinning room door ,,Ready?" he asked she just nodded. He opend the door and they walked inside, the long wooden table was already filled with deatheaters and at the top sat Voldemort himself. There were only two chairs left empty and they weren't next to each other. Odeya thought that she would be at least sitting next to Severus, she would have felt better that way, but this wasn't the case.

,,Welcome, good to see you again. Why don't you take a seat right here Miss Grindelwald?" he pointed at the chair right next to him on the right side of the table. Odeya walked towards the chair and took a seat next to him and on her right side sat none other then Bellatrix. She now sat next to the to people in the room she at least wanted to sit next to. Severus sat on the opposite side of the table a few chairs down.

,,Well now that everyone is here, I will start. You may be wondering why I called you all here tonight. As you may see we have a new member in our group, who will be getting the dark mark tonight, Odeya Grindelwald. I think you all know her grandfather and what an incredible wizard he was. That's why I'm very honored to finally call you one of ours."
Odeya looked at Severus but he was just staring at the table just like everyone else, except for one person Bellatrix she was looking directly at Odeya. It felt like the dark witch was starring into her soul but Odeya couldn't quite make up the expression on the witches face. That wasn't her normal sneer or her disgusted look she normally gave Odeya it was something different, but Odeya couldn't quite place it.

,,Good now Odeya would you please stand up and come over to me." he was now standing in the middle of the room with his wand in hand, so she made her way over to him.
,,Give me your left arm and roll up your sleeve." she did as she was told. He pressed his wand into her left forearm and whispered some spell Odeya didn't know. Black ink flowed out of his wand into her arm. Odeyas eyes grew wide a tear spilled out of her eye, it hurt really bad but she tried to didn't show any weakness in front of him, so she stayed quiet suppressed her screams that were trying to come out of her. After he was done a black skull with a snake wrapped around it now marked her arm. Odeya starred at her arm it was still hurting, just now she registered what she has done what symbol would now mark her arm forever. She felt like crying but she didn't let any tears spill from her eyes.

,,Well look at her, a lot stronger then all of you, not a scream came from her. You all screamed and cried like little baby's. I think we are done for today, you can all go now." with that he apparated away and the other deatheaters left one by one.

After everyone was gone, Narcissa walked over to Odeya and took her into her arms.
,,Can I get you anything maybe something to drink?" she asked.
,,A firewhiskey would be great now." Odeya answered.
,,Good I will get you one, sit down I will be right back."
Odeya sat down on a sofa that was standing in the corner of the room next to the fireplace. Severus also came and sat next to her. She took his hand and leaned into him, she knew he didn't really liked being touched but she just needed that comfort right now. After a moment Narcissa came back with glasses and a bottle of firewhiskey floating behind her. She poured everyone a drink and sat in the arm chair opposite of the sofa. They took a sip from their drinks and nobody sat anything, after a moment of silence Narcissa spoke again.

,,Odeya I wanted to ask you, where will you stay now? School is staring in few days so Severus will go back to Hogwarts, I don't think you should stay all alone in the house. You could stay here if you like, move into the guest room you slept in yesterday."
,,I haven't really thought about that, I don't know." Odeya answered, she wasn't really able to find a clear thought the throbbing in her arm was just to bad.

,,I agree with Narcissa you shouldn't stay alone in the house." Severus said.
,,Well then I would like to stay here, but only if it isn't going to burden you Narcissa."
,,Oh no not at all, it would be nice to have someone here beside from the Dark Lord and my sister. Also, Severus tomorrow Draco and I will be going to Borgin and Burkes, he said their was something that could help him with his task, maybe you would like to come with us?"
,,I'm sorry but tomorrow I have to go to Hogwarts, getting stuff ready for the begging of the new school year. But Odeya could come with you, she can tell me about it when I come back from Hogwarts."
,,Alright, we will go tomorrow morning right after breakfast. Maybe it would be better if you stay here for tonight."
,,Yeah sure."

They sat there for for while talking and drinking, but Odeya didn't really took apart in the conversation. Her arm was hurting and she was tired, she almost drifted asleep when Narcissa spoke.
,,I think we should get you to bed Odeya you must be exhausted and you look very tired. Come on I will get you upstairs." Odeya said her goodbye to Severus and followed Narcissa to the guest room.
,,Good Night just call for a house elf if you need anything." Narcissa said with a small smile and left.

Odeya took of her clothes and put on the Pjs that were laying on the bed. She was about to crawl into bed when she found a small jar and a note on the bed side table.

ₚᵤₜ ₜₕₐₜ ₒₙ yₒᵤᵣ ₐᵣₘ ᵢₜ wᵢₗₗ ₕₑₗₚ wᵢₜₕ ₜₕₑ ₚₐᵢₙ.

Was all the note said, maybe it was from Narcissa  but she would have said something or not, also it wasn't her handwriting it looked nothing like the letter she received a few days ago. But who else would have put that there. Odeya was to tired to think about it any longer, she took the jar and put the cream on her arm. The pain slowly drifted away and Odeya fell asleep.
